Something for our creatives

SBS is calling for bold, thought-provoking factual series — with up to $50,000 in development funding available.

We want innovative formats that push creative boundaries, spark national conversations and embody the SBS Charter (think The People vs Robodebt, The Hospital: In The Deep End). Targeting broad audiences — especially 35–55 — with fresh storytelling, daring experiments, exclusive access, or inventive formats.

Head of SBS Unscripted, Joseph Maxwell, said: “At SBS we are always looking for bold new ideas that push boundaries. We want to work with the production community to deliver distinctive Australian content that matters. Our initiatives consistently deliver landmark shows – most recently, The People vs Robodebt. We are encouraging risk taking and innovation with SBS’s audience and Charter always front of mind.“

Submission details:
• SBS is seeking original factual format ideas ranging from three to eight episodes of up to one hour each in duration.
• Project proposals should be no more than four pages, and submissions must include a title, a logline and a single paragraph synopsis. Please include a short paragraph on how you hope to spend the development funds and a list of deliverables if successful.
• Submissions must be emailed to the SBS Factual pitching portal factual@sbs.com.au - with the subject line ‘New Factual Format Call out’. Please note all submissions will receive an acknowledgement email, but only successful applications will receive a feedback email due to volume.
• All applications must be eligible for state and/or federal documentary funding programs.
• Entries are now open and will close Friday 9 February 2026.
